Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
DDA7D
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
[intro riff]
DDA7D
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
DDA7D
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey
DG
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
A
They tried and tried and tried
G
They dropped things on his back
Asus4 A Asus4 A
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
| A | D | A | D | A | D | A | D Dsus4 |
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
| A | D | A | D | G | AD | G |
| AA | AA | AA | AA | A.......
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
[opening lick ]
